As soon as we heard the peach trees at the orchard were in bloom, we went there! Well, many were not blooming, but some were. Here are pics of on the way there.
And we finally arrive.
To let you see what it looks like when they are All in bloom, here are some of my photos from years ago.
Did you know that peach trees and almond trees are so closely related that they are almost the same tree?
"Peaches & almonds are almost the same tree, but produce different fruits. Peaches grow a sweet, fruity flesh around the pit, while almonds grow a thinner flesh around the pit, and it is not sweet."
Training
is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but
cabbage with a college education.

I love those quotes! I love almonds and didn't know they're related to peaches. 😊
What a beautiful place with all those trees full of blossoms. That's very interesting about peach and almond trees. I had no idea.
Love that quote and it's so true.
that sheet of pink flowers is really impressive
Your pictures are so pretty!
I didn't know that almonds and peaches were so similar.
Good advice from that last meme.
love that quote. I know 2 someones who hate peaches. can't imagine that. I love all fruit, but not everyone does. these are awesome photos, they are just stunning and no I did not know almonds are related to peaches. I like almonds but love peaches more. thanks for the info and the beautiful blooms. Maybe they are blooming so well because they have their own living manure manufacturing machines under them. ha ha
I am shocked - I did not know peach trees grew up north. I did not know they had beautiful pink flowers on them. I did not know they were related to the almonds. I learned a lot today.
Beautiful peach trees, even if not all of them were in bloom.
Such pretty peach trees!
Oh those quotes!!! Love the Mark Twain one.
I didn't know that Peaches and Almonds were in the same family..fascinating.
What gorgeous views with the blossoms doing their thing.

I love peaches. We used to have peach trees. So yummy.
Oh Ginny, I love both of these... almond nuts and peaches! Nice spring pictures and I hope to experience spring when I go next month!
Yes, it has been a long while since I last blogged, thanks for coming by, Ginny, you are the best!
The peach orchard is so rich in color. The pink sea of blooms is beautiful and those blooms mean fruit. I love seeing all the blooming trees at our nursery, of course, these have already been dug....waiting to sell. Enjoy a beautiful weekend....
You are just a bit ahead of us on the tree blossoms. Our plum and apple trees are beginning to pop out their flowers. And my grape hyacinths are blooming like crazy!
I could eat a peck of good peaches if I had them...they are one of my favorite fruits...
I didn't know the peach tree blossoms were Pink! These are lovely pictures, Ginny. And I especially like the ones of the orchard. Interesting that the almond is from the peach family. I love almonds! That quote is perfect for your post haha. What's not to like about the peach, they are so Yummy.
